Miriam Cates has today spoken of how Labour has exposed its real anti-car agenda.
She wrote in a Telegraph column: "LTNs are a waste of resources and are already seen to be a failure – like many of the other anti-driving measures inflicted on the public in recent years.
"Indeed, in Wales, the deeply unpopular 20 miles per hour blanket speed limit is being partially rolled back just a year after introduction.
We must recognise that for decades, all our major infrastructure – from housing estates to retail parks – has been designed with the car in mind.
"And unlike countries such as the Netherlands, we have neither the flat topography nor the wide roads that might allow cycling as a genuine alternative for some.
"Sometimes the cure is worse than the sickness; LTNs are frustrating, ineffective and an expensive exercise in virtue signalling."
